Skimmers no longer showing wanted status

[Franc Kaos]

and with the new 'improved' C&P system I'm a bit wary. Came across a bunch on a planet guarding a crashed spaceship, nothing else in view so would it count as a crime if I shot them considering there'd be nobody to report it or are they like the telepathic guards in Skyrim and immediately label you a crim which gets broadcast galaxy wide (or at least your ship and modules do - :eyeroll).

I feel like, beefing up Punishment is an ok thing, but a) let us pay off fines in any ship and B) do a quick once over with the Crimes part too.

Maybe have a Galnet article detailing the effects and how to resolve them too.

So, shoot them and if you get a bounty go pay it off at the interstellar factors. What's the big deal?

Bounties are jurisdictional unless you rack up a bunch of them. You're not going to go interstellar for killing a few skimmers.

Most of the Skimmers I’ve encountered are still wanted, even though it doesn’t say so. Probably just a bug.

For me it has been 50/50. If you get a bounty and you're skittish, OP, then snatch up that loot and high tail it to an IF in a Low Sec or anarchy jurisdiction.

Pull the trigger.... You know you want to. And you might find that being a criminal In one of your ships is a hoot

E: D is all about getting your hands dirty. Being friends with everyone in the bubble is milquetoast, and milquetoast CMDRs wind up in wrecked ships on planet surfaces

The trespass warning message for illegal and legal planetary sites are different. Ones that will gain you a bounty if you attack the skimmers mention some sort of penalty when entering and rescinding the penalty if you leave, while legal ones simply say you'll set off the defenses.
